Sony Announces "Sonic the Hedgehog" Movie

Sony Pictures just announced that it's developing a CG-animated/live-action film based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" video game series. Evan Susser and Van Robichaux will write the script.

The film will look to capture Sonic's tone and spirit, reuniting him with some of the most revered and infamous characters of the franchise, including the evil Dr. Eggman. Playful, mischievous, and quick on his feet in more ways than one, the world's fastest hedgehog is known for his ability to move at supersonic speed to protect his friends from their enemies. For more than two decades, Sonic has been one of the world's biggest gaming icons and a $1 billion franchise with more than 140 million games sold.

"There are limitless stories to tell with a character like Sonic the Hedgehog, and a built-in international fan base," said Sony. "We're looking to capture everything that generations of fans know and love about Sonic while also growing his audience wider than ever before."

Whether it ends up being good or not does not matter. Its an IP that has seen better days, and has not had a true hit in over a decade. Even if this makes it to theater, which im guessing straight to video, it will most likely bomb. Its not pixar and todays kids dont give a sh*t what kids liked in early 90's
